Maytag Washer Repair – Lisbon, OH (MVWB835DW0)

A Maytag washer in Lisbon, OH had a bottom basket that cracked in several places like the motor jammed and it twisted it. When we opened the machine, we found the agitator had completely shattered from physical damage.

The Problem

The customer reported that the bottom of basket cracked in several places like the motor jammed and it twisted it. The washing machine was no longer functioning properly due to the extensive damage to the wash basket.

Diagnosis

We found that the wash plate (agitator) had shattered. It appeared that something hard was in the load of clothes being washed and physically jammed the agitator, causing it to shatter. The foreign object created enough force to break the agitator completely.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: W10902814 — Wash Plate
• Work performed: Replaced wash plate (agitator)
• Result: Washer restored to full operation

Is It Worth Repairing?

Maytag washers are generally built to last and this model is still worth repairing. A shattered agitator from foreign object damage is an isolated incident rather than a design flaw. With the new wash plate installed, this machine should provide many more years of reliable service.

Maintenance Tips for Maytag Washers

• Always check pockets thoroughly before loading clothes — coins, pens, and small toys can jam the agitator
• Don’t overload the washer as this puts extra stress on the wash plate and drive components
• Use the appropriate wash cycle for your load size and fabric type to prevent excessive agitation
